Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. During their prime in the late 1960's and 1970s, The Who consisted of four members: Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Keith Moon, and Pete Townshend.

Answer: True

Although some of them were capable on multiple instruments, the basic line-up was: Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass, Keith Moon on Drums, and Roger Daltrey on lead vocals. In later years, they appeared on stage with multiple guitarists, percussionists and small orchestras behind them.
2. Who was the first member of The Who to die?

Answer: Keith Moon

He died of an overdose in 1978. Ironically, the drug that killed him was prescribed to help him overcome alcoholism.
3. Who was the second member of The Who to die?

Answer: John Entwistle

He died in 2002, the night before the band was to launch a U.S. tour.

8. The last studio album The Who recorded with Keith on drums was "It's Hard."

Answer: Roger

Pete, John and Keith appeared as themselves during the pinball scene, playing the band for Elton John who sang "Pinball Wizard". Roger played Tommy. As well, Keith played the part of Uncle Ernie.

"Boris the Spider" was written by John Entwistle, one of the few hits not by Pete Townshend.
